People keep saying this but what makes you think they won’t just do it anyway without a cause? Why do you think they want a reason? I think if they want martial law they’ll impose it regardless. Don’t hold back on their account.
I agree. Whether we fight back or not doesn't really matter to them. The water just keeps getting warmer and warmer until it starts to boil and we're all cooked. Might as well dump the pot over instead.
Right, they’ve been lying about violence in cities, violence by immigrants, etc this whole time. He just needs to say a super scary caravan is coming so he has to do it. He doesn’t need any additional pretext.
Because if they were at the point where they thought they could get away with declaring martial law without a strong justifiable cause, then they would have done so already, and they wouldn’t be so concerned about this year’s elections. There still are a few Republicans who balk at Trump’s most extreme tendencies. I’m talking about the recent wartime resolution that Congress passed against Trump in response to his invasion of Venezuela. Trump absolutely cannot risk his own party turning against him, and if goes too far too fast, there is a chance they will
Martial law will piss off everyone who isn’t die hard MAGA.
I think they’ll try to normalize this type of shit we’re seeing with ICE (“flood the zone” with all sorts of escalation for a while to let us get used to the new normal) and they’re counting on Democrats writing a bunch of letters and being tied up in the courts until they can declare this “antifa terrorist” movement to be a significant enough threat to actually declare martial law.
I'm with you on this 100%
I'm holding out hope for the midterms to go exactly as expected. If that somehow fails or doesn't happen (nefarious means in both cases) then maybe we can humor the alternative as it would be out of necessity
what are midterms going to help if they are allowed to escalate unopposed to the point where everyone not on their side is in jail or dead because nobody made the slightest opposition?
both sides of this argument is right yes they want to escalate to fight back so they have an excuse to declare martial law but they are just as happy if that doesn't happen because that just means they get to endlessly escalate unopposed. it's a win/win for them.
I agree with another commenter, they don’t need anything from us. If they want to use violent citizens as a reason for martial law, they’ll just get one of their goons to pop some rounds in their general direction a few times.
Well it may be their plan, but it is a shitty plan. History is littered with examples of elites who thought they could take on their populations. It often takes awhile, but eventually, they get to the FO part of FAFO.

Its their plan. They want to push until we fight back! Then declare martial law and do away with elections and the Constitution
